Yeah I just slammed the throttle down and released the clutch lol kinda nervous I guess. But I did let off and that killed me.

I knew I should have listened to all the guys on here about the K&N! Haha

Every car is different. ... I have to slip mine to get traction ... I raise up to around 4k let the clutch go 70% when I know she is hooked I let the last 30% go. The more you practice the better you will know your cars sweet spot. Please always practice on closed road environment

Hard to do that since the nearest track it over 150 miles away. So my seat time is few and far between!

I tried doing it in an empty business center parking lot, but the asphalt was so slippery that I just spun the tires.

You gotta play with the launch, start off at like 2k but on stickier tires. Then work your way up or accordingly. I got to launch my TA at 3k with Nitto Nto5R's and air pressure at 14lbs. Gotta practice and write it down. Launch rpms and tire pressures and current weather.

SolomonAKOO · 06-01-2013, 07:03 PM

See I started launching at around 3k and spun out but if I went much lower then that it seemed to big down. I'm sure if I got some good DRs I'd be able to launch it alot better at 2.5-3k

mikeyg36 · 06-01-2013, 07:26 PM

Or you can dump the clutch at 4k and make a smoke show

I need new tires, and I don't know what to get. I wish they made the ZL1 tires for the SS wheels

SolomonAKOO · 06-01-2013, 07:29 PM

Yeah a smoke show and a broken axle.

Seems as though everyone is going with Nitto.

You broke an axle?

SolomonAKOO · 06-01-2013, 07:41 PM

No but had I dropped my clutch at 4k I'm sure I would have.
